Array ( [sid] => 56360 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => To a loving mother [time] => 2004-07-16 02:24:59 [hometext] => [bodytext] => A small house sits alone with memories of
a loving family. The grass grows tall where
children once played. The living room
remains forever cold where a loving husband
and respected father took his last breath.

Although the house sits empty, it’s still full
of many secrets and hard times of a family that
will never forget. The decision to sell was a
tough one, but years of joyful moments now
haunted a lonely mother. As she took her last
look around, her tears flowed like a river. One
last time, she would lock the front door before
leaving the house forever. The years flashed by,
as she quietly departed.

When my father passed away my mother took it very
hard. My parents were not only husband and wife,
but also the best of friends. For years cancer
slowly took over his body, but she stayed by his
side to hold his hand and wipe his brow. She is,
and always will be, a hero in the eyes of a son
that is forever grateful.

Dedicated to my mother

This is an awesome poem. I am very glad you still have your mom with you. My mom passed away earlier this year I wrote 2 songs about it: "City lullaby and Hello Heartache" I hope you read them and tell me what you think.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is very difficult on them when their mate goes without them. I am now caring for my Mother as she cannot live alone. It was difficult for her to sell part of their lives after my Daddy died. My story is much like yours.

God bless,
Rita

Oh this heartwrenching, and so touching.
How Proud your loving mother must be of you.....your insight......your bravery that you suggest in her.......is in you too!
What a very sad write.........but like so many lifes, one is lost........the other must go on and never look back
I congratulate you for holding your dear mother in high esteem!
Bless you
